h band shows in the Netherlands and Germany!

8th Aug 2003

"Ahaaaaaaarghghghghgh! My long-missed shiverin hearties,
Good news!
The HMS Saucy Sue will set sail from London bound for the low countries
and due to arrive on September 19th. Oh but she contains the rarest of
cargo.. including, this time, my friend and yours, Pete Trewavas on
bass. The rest of the band is unchanged (apart from in the brain of
course..)
I'm proud, delighted and relieved to announce another chance to
experience the dark and beautiful magic which is my band of eight
like-minded sorcerers, committed to the summoning up of spirits and the
stirring up of souls. This time - if you're in the right frame of
spirit - you might just see them..
We can do it without you. But imagine if you missed it.. You only live
once.. this time."

Dave Meegan is now well into mixing the h live album, so at last I can tell you that there won't be too much
longer to wait. As you may remember, it was recorded across the 2 gigs at Dingwalls in London last August.
